The ROTA's are White..I think they will go well with my Bayside Blue paint job....atleast I hope so. Would you happen to know how to find out the tire size that will fit those wheels? Thanks for the props

I'd like to ask what the difference is between the 215 and the 225.....I'm not familiar with tires sizes. Appreciate it

Tire manufactures don't make 225/40/17. I have 17 (wish I had 16s). Get some 215/40/ AVS ES 100 and you be fine. the next size up is 225 45 17 and that will give you a wacked speedo and an off-roading look.

I'm getting my tires for tires.com...I'd like to know the exact tires size(s) that would wrap around my Subzero's and fit nicely.

The proper size for a 4th gen Prelude in 17'' is 215/40/17 . This is the closest you're going to get to stock overall diameter which is what you want. You don't want your speedometer and milage to be off now do you?

Mikeluder.....that's what I though with the 215/40/17's....but that tire size is thin right? They won't look like my stock "off-road tires" right?
